Minecraft Forums

I recently created a launcher for minecraft which is supposed to make the administration of a server easier by allowing players to have a seperate instance of minecraft built for running on a specific server using an information file which the administrator can provide. In essence, the client downloads an information file, makes a new instance of minecraft, installs the required mods (and versions), gets the config files, and launches it... all automatically. It's somewhat of a simpler version of MCUpdater.

All a server owner has to do is create an information file using these instructions: http://stephenmac7.github.com/mml/

It currently supports Linux and Windows officially, but it will probably run on Mac too (not tested).

Nice tool, good job on it. It's fairly unique, and appears to work well. Maybe make the UI a bit more eyecandyish.

Thank you so much for taking a look at it. Do you have any suggestions about how I should go about fixing the UI?

EDIT:
This any better?
(See first post for picture)

I also added a tool for servers to update their mods beased on a server info file but it will not download the configs (as it should be the server that's providing the configs) and will not extract the mod archives. https://github.com/stephenmac7/mml/blob/master/tools/mms.py

Again this looks cool, mind if I make a youtube video showcasing it?

I really don't mind. It's changed a lot since I posted this though, and I know it's not ready for widespread use yet. Therefore, I would appreciate it if you made one but it might have to be remade once MML is ready. At the moment though, it has just about as much use as the Technic Launcher and therefore, I'm not sure it would be the best idea to make a video just yet. If you choose not to I'll be happy to contact you one it's ready!

I'm making huge changes to it, allowing one to make a modpack online then using it through this launcher.
